More Home Renovation for Dummies....

So here is the latest.... We have had the wood laminate for a year and we finally decided to put it in the entry way from the garage. When we pulled up the carpet, the concrete was horrible. There were high spots and spots where they added the basement and the concrete was super low. So we used concrete level to try and fix it, but there were still high spots we we borrowed a grinder from a friend and tried to level it better. What a mess. Concrete dust everywhere... and just when we were about finished, there was suddenly smoke everywhere. The smoke alarms went off and so I ran to disarm the ADT alarm. Then we ran around opening windows and then I got a call from ADT. I explained that it was a false alarm and that the fire department wasn't needed. She said she would let them know it was a false alarm, but that they might still come. Fortunately they didn't come. But at that point Tim decided we were done and we would put down the wood and hope for the best! It looks good. Hopefully it is a good job and will last a while.
